5 people take 55 minutes to finish a job, if all people work at the same rate 11 people should finish the same job in
-----
# of people and time are inversely related:
t = k/n
----
Solve for "k":
55 = k/5
k = 275
-----
Equations:
t = 275/n
----
11 people should finish the same job in ? minutes:
t = 275/11
time = 25 minutes
